autism be damned my boy can make an 8ft tall man in his college dorm
This song existed before the movie came out... methinks
he was a dog… she was an iguana… can i make it anymore obvious
local petguys cant stop crying. its such a beautiful moment. their babies are so grown…getting married soon
His name kanji are 利(advantageous) and 運(luck/destiny), i.e. “Advantageous Luck”
His parents blessed him!! He is the luckiest-named guy on the planet!!
Birthplace: Mutsu Province(which tbh is pretty vague- 29 hans were there in Mutsu no Kuni)
Likes: Sake and Squid
Dislikes: Shellfish
Quote: “It must have been the star I was born under…(misfortune)”
Noda’s Note: A perpetually weary, unmotivated and yet really sexy ossan(middle-aged man). I love this sort of a character.
Relations:-
Inudou: “The Inside Man”; Playing the role of a “tanuki”, he scouted around for intel.
Hijikata: “Deeply Respects”; Due to his father’s influence Kadokura decided on being a follower.
Birthplace: Roundabouts Kushiro, Hokkaido
Likes: Kokanee Salmon
Dislikes: Snakes and Locusts
Quote: “You’re going to fail if you don’t even think things through, Kadokura!”
Noda’s Note: Kirawus got his name Kirawus[キラウシ] because “as a child he was playing around with Deer antlers. Isn’t that adorable?” Kirawus is an Ainu word that describes things that have horns. The cute baby devil deer Kirawus-nispa.
On that note, the ainu word Kirau is a sort of basic Ainu siriki(traditional pattern) which is form of a thorn/spike/horn.
Relations:-
Nihei: “Hunting Companion”; While out hunting, Kirawus heard the story behind Nihei’s gun.
Kadokua: “Employer’s servant”; 雇い主の部下だが態度は適当だ
Kirawus is taller than Kadokura but Kadokura is heavier in weight.
You had one job Noda I asked you Kirawus’ age
Also,
Kirawus is the youngest child(in his family).
When asked about Kadokura’s past as regarding just how he went to school as a boy in his times and if he were from some well-to-do samurai family or reknowned or rich family. Noda stated Kadokura’s father was also unlucky and fell into ruin(poverty) and Noda thinks Kadokura was burdened with his “unluck”.
When asked why of all people Kirawus hasn’t even taken off his matanpushi, Noda said he might draw Kirawus naked if the right opportunity presents itself and he doesn’t draw people naked just like that *ahem* really Noda?
Kirawus canon likes a sort of fish. Kadokura the Tanuki we have seen him ask for fish as a bribe. Now it turns out Kadokura likes Fishing!
Q: What did Head Jailer Kadokura do on his holidays?
A: He likes fishing
Kirawus is unmarried and a confirmed bachelor
Kadokura used to be married once but his wife divorced him and she and their daughter ran off from him. Which once again brings me back to my fear reagarding who he is based on
Also,
Relationship: “An incongruous pair” or in my words, “They complete each other”
Nagakura paired up these two useless bums hoping they could be somewhat useful if together. And so they’ve been paired together ever since.
Take this as you will:-
凸凹コンビ(Dekoboko combi) literally means “odd couple” and often that they are an equal-opposite duo, i.e. what one lacks the other compensates for. The phrase is used for siblings and best friends as much as it is for couples/lovers. The most cited example is Rain Man.
or as my dirty mind sees it *ahem* the two kanji’’s mean concave and convex and like…ummm…catch my drift

This all started when I was thinking of a way to try and get a better gauge on Ryan’s age, but then it started to kind of become it’s own thing. Basically, something I’ve noticed is how aspects of many (though not all) the character designs are indictive of the decade they grew up in.
Let’s start with the oldest of our heroes (I’m limiting it to heroes so this post won’t be any more massive than I’m sure it will already be).
Kotetsu and Antonio: We know that they are both 38 in S2, so that means they were born in 1942. So their childhood and teen years were the 1940s and 1950s, and you can see the influence of those time periods on their outfits.
Back in the 1940s and 1950s cowboy inspired fashion was very popular. My grandfather had a bit of this style too, and he was born sometime in the 1930s. Of course, Antonio’s outfit is also meant to reflect his NEXT persona as well, being Rock Bison and having, iirc, a meat sponsor.
Meanwhile, Kotetsu has that snazzy look about him. Clean cut, button up shirt, tie, sleek and ironed pants, button up vest - his look is, in a way, rather hip in comparison to Antonio’s look. I also feel is has more of an upscale, blue collar vibe to it than Antonio’s, which style originated with blue collar, “working on the farm,” and legit cowboy types. Of course, Kotetsu doesn’t hold himself in that way, though I do think that his outfit is what adds to the moe gap and charm of Kotetsu. He has this put together appearance to him, but his life is a mess and he can be very immature at times, lol.
